Show notes

Jenifer Lewis is bringing big energy, big laughs, and wild stories only she can tell. Keke sits down with the Mother of Black Hollywood to talk about her near-fatal Serengeti fall, the recovery that brought back her high kick, surviving addiction, living with bipolar disorder, memories of Whitney Houston, four engagements, activism, and collaborating with Keke on the Audible series, “The Weddings of Lady Miss Jacqueline.” It’s comedy, truth, resilience, and survival, Jenifer Lewis style. Content warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual abuse, addiction, mental health, trauma, and recovery. Please take care while watching.
